BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
- As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disk/blade over a heatproof bowl. Pass the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, stir in the hot milk mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula. Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, and serve hot. To keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes. You can add a little extra hot milk to keep them creamy.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES
If this is the first time you're using your Instant Pot to make mashed potatoes, fret not! To ensure that the natural starches from the potatoes do not burn or scorch as they cook, be sure to put them in a single layer on a rack inside the pot insert. The potatoes should be fully tender but not falling apart - overcooking them can make them a touch watery.

Steps:
- Pour 2 cups water into a 6- to 8-quart Instant Pot. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the peppercorns and top with a rack. Put the potatoes on the rack in a single layer. Put on the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set to pressure-cook on high for 12 minutes. When the time is up, let the pressure release naturally, about 20 minutes. (If the pressure is not fully released after 20 minutes, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position.)
- Combine the milk and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts and the milk is steaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add the potatoes to the milk mixture and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with more milk as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with butter and chives.
Tips:
- For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
- Use a ricer or potato masher to get the smoothest mashed potatoes.
- Add buttermilk, butter, and seasonings to taste.
- For a cheesy mashed potato, add shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese.
- For a garlicky mashed potato, add roasted garlic or garlic powder.
- For a herbed mashed potato, add fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or rosemary.
- Serve mashed potatoes immediately, or they will start to thicken.
